Opinion: How Zohran Mamdani Can Avoid A Pyrrhic Victory

As these observations reflect, Mamdani's campaign opened a new direction for the city, a new beginning, offering a clear and masterful diagnosis of the growing inequality and key issues needing attention. He offered changes that have been thwarted for decades and set a high bar for a new governing agenda-a belief that municipal government can be an instrument to enable those who work hard to thrive.

Opinion: Cities Can Win the Climate Fight. NYC is Setting the Stage.

I am proud to share that New York City government is leading by example in this critical mission.

In Defense of the Sidewalk Shed

Most days, I pass through a cool, shaded colonnade my son describes as "the tunnel." A promise to swing by can sometimes convince him to leave the playground, and I plan my own routes around its dependable roof, avoiding the heat and rain that seem to get more extreme as the city turns tropical. There's a string of lights underneath, like the ones over pleasant outdoor markets, which makes it easier to rifle through my purse for my keys or phone in the evenings.
